Scripture: Matthew 3:4–8
Reflection:
Repentance is not merely feeling bad—it is changing your mind and acting on that change. John’s message was bold and piercing: “Repent!” He called Israel to examine their hearts, mourn over sin, turn away from old patterns, and embrace God’s righteous ways.
Repentance prepares the soul the way someone might prepare their home for an honored guest. We clean, we adjust, we set things in order. Advent invites us to do this spiritually—not out of fear, but out of anticipation.
Prayer:
Father, soften my heart. Reveal any sin I have ignored or excused. Grant me the grace to turn from it and walk in Your ways. Amen.
Challenge:
Identify one area of life that needs realignment with Christ. Write it down. Confess it honestly to the Lord today.
